Production period there is a lot of things happened, communication issues and teamwork issues. The problem as a whole group face is that there is no leader in the group to step up and keep pushing the whole group. There is no producer on set as you would have known and there is a lot of miscommunication. What did I do was I tried to keep the fire burning, when the film started rolling, I keep pushing everyone, what shot is next, what shot is next. So my job is also as the key grip ensuring that the grips is always on their feet to prepare for the next shot. That is how a production should work. But there is some people who makes use of people who came down to help for the production thinking that there is no work to be done all he can do was just watch at us doing and setting up of lights, loading and unloading of equipments. He was supposed to decorate the set but didn’t at all. I don’t even see a single prop from him. The mistakes that I’ve done in this production is the film, I should constantly checking the gate to ensure that there is film running. The mistake that I did was when the film runs out and I’m not sure whether they took that shot completely and the grips tears down that scene where I should have just told them to hold on and just do that shot again.
